The river breeze at night was a little cool, Chi Ruoyu shivered, and the mobile phone suddenly rang. "Mom, what's wrong? Oh, I might be back later today. ”

"Your dad said you weren't in the company, so where are you? It's so late. Su Yunuan was a little anxious, Ruoyu had never gone home so late when he worked overtime.

Chi Ruoyu glanced at Luo Feifei and immediately chose to conceal it. "I need to find some materials, so I'll go back later, you don't have to worry, I'll be fine."

Listening to her words, Luo Feifei curled the corners of his lips, are they secretly dating like this now?

When she hung up the phone, Luo Feifei said: "This reason is very good, find materials, and I will say the same in the future." ”

Chi Ruoyu glanced at him, "I can only say that you are too embarrassing for our family." "Hostile, not to talk about; Be friendly, be upset.

If it weren't for his birthday today, Chi Ruoyu wouldn't have agreed to come alone with him, not to mention how awkward it is now.

"You wait for me, I'll prepare the tools, and then go fishing."

"No need, forget it today, I don't know how to fish in the first place, you still let me go so late, next time." Chi Ruoyu still wanted to finish eating quickly and go home early.

Luo Feifei was slightly flustered, so he had to obey her arrangement. "If I had come earlier, I would have taken you to the school." The school is about ten minutes away from here, and now it is getting late, and the school gate has been locked.

In the center of the room, there is a long table, like a European court style, which does not match the shape of the building.

Luo Feifei invited Chi Ruoyu to sit down, set up the tableware for her, and the gentleman generally did a good job before returning to his position.

The two sat opposite each other, and they were not embarrassed. After all, it's not the first time I've eaten alone with each other, and the one in Italy, Chi Ruoyu still remembers it very clearly.

"Thank you for dining with me today." Luo Feifei raised his wine glass and said to Chi Ruoyu with a smile.

Chi Ruoyu, who was attracted by the dishes in front of her, hurriedly came back to her senses, raised her wine glass, and said, "It should be that I want to wish you a happy birthday!" Happy Birthday Lo Extraordinary! ”

Although he didn't expect anything like this, it was particularly comfortable for him to say it from Chi Ruoyu's mouth. "Thanks again. Aren't you hungry? Eat it. ”

Chinese and Western food, probably taking into account Ruoyu's dining habits, is used to staying in Italy, she uses knives and forks more easily than chopsticks.

In fact, Chi Ruoyu was very curious, since Luo Feifei became the president because he inherited the family business, why he had never heard of his family. With such a huge family property, it is impossible for it to fall into his hands. The strange thing is that not only did he not mention it himself, but even the media did not report the identity of the person in charge of the Luo family, as if he wanted to carry out the mystery to the end.

"Didn't anyone else call you?" Chi Ruoyu asked tentatively.

"Few people know about my birthday, and I don't like to be busy." Luo Feifei patiently explained, "When I was very young, my mother passed away, and as for my father, he died before he could see each other, and he didn't know about my existence until he died. My grandmother raised me until I was eight years old, and I was taken back by the Luo family, and the next year, my grandmother fell ill and died. ”

The people who are close to him have passed away one after another, and the only person in the world who is still related to him is a stranger than a stranger.

Hearing him talk about this, Chi Ruoyu suddenly regretted that he shouldn't have asked this sentence out of curiosity. "I'm sorry, I didn't think to inquire about your private affairs."

Luo Feifei smiled indifferently and said, "What's the matter, it's not something that can't be said, and it's a thing of the past, there's nothing to let go, and there's nothing to taboo." ”

Unexpectedly, under his mask, there was such an open-minded heart, Chi Ruoyu also smiled sincerely. "Your deceased loved ones would be happy to know that you are living such a positive life."

Will it be happy? Mom must not be happy, after all, he has come to this point, there are too many things to sacrifice, and the woman in front of him is. "Death is a kind of liberation, and the living have too many responsibilities to bear, and they are not even qualified to escape."

Once he escapes, not only will he have nothing, but he will also affect more people, rendering this grudge even stronger, for generations, endlessly.

"Let's not mention these things again, let's talk about what happened when you were in school, you and Liu Yao were still classmates at that time, it's really amazing to say." Looking at the two of them now, who would have thought that they had studied in elementary school together, the world is so small, no matter where you go, it seems that you can always meet people who are related.

"It's been almost 20 years, and I don't remember a lot of things, and I have the impression that the children here are basically a big group, and there is no shortage of naughty mischief. Now, I can't remember what I was like, let alone Liu Yao. ”

At that time, the family was poor, and no one had the opportunity to take pictures, and naturally they would not have pictures of their childhood. It's not like now, when children who have just learned to walk have already learned to take selfies.

His tone sounded very flat, without any regret or sentimentality in it, and perhaps as he said, what had been seen was not a thing.

"Where did you go after that?"

"Later? Later, he was sent to a closed management school abroad, and he no longer had to worry about not having enough food and clothing, but he lost his freedom. So much so that it is still like this, seemingly free, but he can't even make his own feelings. He is a marionette, controlled by his grandfather, and he cannot be freed.

Chi Ruoyu was full of curiosity about his life, but she understood that she couldn't ask more. It's just that a strange thought gradually rose in her heart, but she hoped it wasn't true.

Since that day's birthday dinner, Luo Feifei has not appeared by Chi Ruoyu's side for a long time, and even Wang Zixuan was very surprised, and the answer he got when he asked Yang Han was only that he had been too busy recently.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't appear, Chi Ruoyu is rarely quiet, and the loneliness in her heart is directly ignored by her, and she is busy with work wholeheartedly.

"Ruoyu, Mr. Su will let you go to her office." Wang Zixuan knocked on Chi Ruoyu's office and said softly.

"Okay, I'll go over right away." Chi Ruoyu raised her head, turned her somewhat sore neck, and then stood up. "Zixuan, can you help me sort out the information here? I'm going to use it when I get back. ”

"No problem."

Chi Ruoyu glanced at Jules, still buried in a pile of manuscripts, revising and revising, and was very devoted. I couldn't bear to disturb him, so I walked straight out.

"Mr. Su, what are you looking for me?" Before coming to Susan's office, the secretary directly let her in, which seemed to be no small matter.

"If it rains, you come here." Susan beckoned to her to come to the computer.

Chi Ruoyu stepped forward full of doubts, and then looked at the computer at Susan's signal. "Huh? Isn't this my first draft of the design? Samples out so soon? After saying this, Chi Ruoyu felt that something was wrong.

When the first draft has not been handed in, how can it be possible to sew a sample dress first, and it is still without her knowledge.

Seeing that Chi Ruoyu's expression began to become strict, Susan knew that she had understood the severity of the matter. "This is the official website of another clothing company, and last night they launched this season's new style on their website, which is exactly the same as the first draft you gave me."

Chi Ruoyu didn't speak, staring carefully at the computer page, only feeling that the name of this company was a little familiar. "Mr. Su, do you know the details of this clothing company?"

The first draft she had worked so hard to design appeared on another company's website before she could hand it in, and there was only one possibility, that is, her work was leaked.

After having been in this business for so many years, Susan naturally knows the origin of this company. "It has always been the mainstream of imitating foreign clothing brands, and it is a well-known copycat company in the industry, but don't underestimate this company, people also have quite strong power, and it can be said that it is the king of cottages. I also know the owner of this company, and I have had a few contacts, and if I remember correctly, it seems that the surname is Lei. ”

Chi Ruoyu was stunned for a moment, the person surnamed Lei who opened a clothing company, she also knew one, think about it carefully, it seems that the name of the company printed on the business card that Lei Zhengjun gave her was the one in front of her. "It's Lei Zhengjun, right?"

"Yes, yes, if it rains, do you know?" Susan was surprised, these two people were not on the same level at all, how could they know each other?

"He used to hire their company as a designer, and I heard that he wanted to get rid of the title of copycat king and create a clothing brand that really belongs to him, but I refused." The rejection was not because she looked down on her, but because she was busy with her own studio at that time, and she didn't want to be an affiliate of others.

If it weren't for wanting to take on his own responsibilities, Chi Ruoyu would not have come to his own company's clothing company.

Susan's expression became stern. "Since your work appeared on another company's website without your knowledge, it means that someone has stolen your work. Ruoyu, we have to find this person, otherwise this kind of thing will definitely happen again. ”

Of course to find out, it's just who this person will be. Chi Ruoyu frowned, when he was in Italy before, because everyone was on the same front, and each other had their own style and status, they didn't bother to do plagiarism at all, so Chi Ruoyu never defended himself at this point, even after returning to China, it was completely due to habit.

The only people who can enter and leave his office are Wang Zixuan and Jules, and before the design draft is completed, Chi Ruoyu has never let him leave him, just to design a more perfect work when inspiration suddenly appears.
